Everything I bought on online shopping platforms was genuine.

Chapter 457 was won

Liu Ruyan wasn't some primitive person, so she naturally knew the joke about Xuanwu Gate being attacked.

As she casually took the sign down, Liu Ruyan immediately noticed something very familiar: behind the sign was a stack of banknotes. She counted them and found that there were exactly eight hundred yuan.

That's right, these were the few banknotes she had casually slipped to Lin Mo when she first took him back to school, just to tease him. One of the banknotes even had her red handprint on it, a result of the ink residue from when she signed the contract and pressed her fingerprint on it. She remembered this very clearly.

"Little man, you're quite vengeful!" Liu Ruyan said with a playful smile.

Little did they know, Lin Mo had already gritted his teeth and sworn an oath: eight hundred it is, I will definitely beat you, and whoever backs down is a coward.

Now that the opportunity has finally arrived, and we already have the eight hundred, the location must be Xuanwu Gate.

Liu Ruyan then reached out and opened the door. The room was not as bright as usual; instead, it was gloomy, as if it were dark. But it was still daytime outside, and the light was still quite strong.

If that's the case, then there's only one explanation: the curtains inside the room were drawn.

Liu Ruyan took a deep breath and walked in. A dim light shone through the darkness of the room. There were two candles on the dining table, and Lin Mo sat upright in his chair, staring blankly at her.

At this moment, Liu Ruyan was wearing a milky white shawl paired with a fishtail halter dress, and a pair of high heels. Her long hair was held back with a simple hairpin, showing off her figure. She had a youthful face, a mature figure, and the temperament of a mature woman.

At this moment, Lin Mo felt that the name Liu Ruyan was no longer a simple name, nor was it the subject of his previous jokes. He felt as if he had really met the stunningly beautiful woman from those novels.

The name Liu Ruyan is synonymous with beauty, prettyness, and sexiness.

And with the help of the dim candlelight, she could see the rose petals scattered on the floor and the large bouquet of blooming roses on the coffee table.

Two red candles burned on the table, emitting a warm light. There were also six dishes on the table, including Chinese and Western dishes.

"There's only one flower left from last time, so I'm giving you ninety-nine more this time. Consider it my formal confession to you—please be my girlfriend."

As he spoke, Lin Mo stood up and walked to Liu Ruyan, taking out the sandalwood hairpin he had prepared.

It has no fancy design, just a simple style. But if you look closely, you can see that the hairpin is carved with exquisite patterns, and the head of the hairpin is decorated with gold thread. The whole hairpin has a dark gold tone. Although it doesn't look as fancy as those phoenix hairpins, it looks inexplicably grand.

Just like the contrast between the dark gold dragon robe of the Qin Dynasty emperors and the gold dragon robes of later dynasties, the former is grand and imposing, while the latter is luxurious.

However, Liu Ruyan herself was not the type of person who relied on luxurious jewelry to accentuate her style.

The hairpin she wore before was black, simple and elegant. Even though the style was simple, it could better complement her appearance. She never wore gold or silver, and apart from the watch on her wrist, she could hardly see any jewelry on her body.

If you were to give her a phoenix hairpin, it would actually clash with her style.

"This is... a hairpin? For me?" Liu Ruyan asked with some surprise when she saw what he was holding.

Thinking about it carefully, this was actually the first gift Lin Mo had formally given her.

"Hmm, what else?" Lin Mo said with a smile.

Liu Ruyan didn't reach out to take it. She looked at the hairpin for a while before saying, "Fool, do you know what it means to give a girl a hairpin?"

"Of course, it belongs to the legal wife," Lin Mo said without hesitation.

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan's smile became even brighter, and she gently parted her lips and chuckled, "In ancient times, when a man gave a woman a hairpin, it was a sign that he wanted to become her husband. Moreover, hairpins could only be given to the principal wife, hence the saying 'a hairpin given to the wife'."

Of course, there are no concubines now, but they still represent a promise, symbolizing growing old together.

Are you really sure? I'll take this seriously. If you make a promise and then can't keep it, you're doomed! Liu Ruyan's voice was soft. At first, her eyes were smiling, but by the end, they were full of seriousness, and there was no hint of joking.

Lin Mo did not answer, but stepped forward and personally inserted the hairpin into Liu Ruyan's hair.

In an instant, both Lin Mo and Liu Ruyan had a premonition that their other half in this life would be the person standing in front of them.

Lin Mo had already shown his thoughts through his actions. Seeing this, Liu Ruyan reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck, giving Lin Mo a deep kiss on the lips.

After a long while, their lips parted, and their breathing became much heavier; they could even hear each other's heartbeats.

Then Liu Ruyan nestled against Lin Mobo's neck and whispered, her voice trembling slightly, "Go to the bedroom!"

"Huh? Shouldn't we eat first?" Lin Mo asked, glancing at the still-burning candles and the dinner he had carefully prepared.

This doesn't match his and his cousin Su He's plan. Although the room is dimly lit, he's certain it's not dark outside yet.

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan immediately became angry, struggled out of his arms, and blew out the candle on the table, plunging the room into darkness.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Ruyan roughly grabbed his arm and said angrily, "Did I need your permission? Stop talking nonsense to me. Do you think I need your meal? Hurry up and go to the bedroom to get down to business!"

While being young has its advantages, it also has obvious disadvantages; she, as the older sister, has to teach her everything.

As she spoke, Lin Mo was pulled and dragged into the bedroom by Liu Ruyan, and soon the two of them were embracing and falling onto the soft bed.

At this moment, another of Lin Mo's skills came into play. He gently brushed his palm across Liu Ruyan's clothes.

This caused Liu Ruyan's already sparsely buttoned clothes to fall off as smoothly as milk.

Before Liu Ruyan could even react, she felt like something was missing from her body.

Just as he was about to speak, somewhat puzzled, the blanket covered him completely.

After an unknown amount of time, a soft moan came from inside the bedroom.

When Yin and Yang are out of balance, it is destined to be an extremely fierce battle. Even if both of them are greenhorns, it is like the human body needing certain nutrients, which cannot be resolved in a short time.

And Lin Mo's martial arts skills, which he had learned from the browser over the years, finally found a place to be used.

Time flew by, and it was already evening. The two of them had exhausted themselves and were now feeling drowsy.

It has to be said that at this moment, both Lin Mo and Liu Ruyan calmed down, and had only one thought in their minds: they were sleepy and wanted to go to sleep.

'Buzz~'

Just then, Lin Mo's phone vibrated on the bedside table.

Liu Ruyan opened her eyes, glanced at her little man, and seeing that he was exhausted, she stretched out her fair, lotus-like arm from under the covers, took his phone, and opened it to find that it was a WeChat message from Su He.

How did it go? Did you manage to get it?

Upon seeing this, Liu Ruyan's lips curled up slightly, and she then lazily replied with a voice message.

"Got it!"

Su He: ? ? ?
